Ather Launches Rizta Electric Scooter in Sri Lanka at Colombo Motor Show

Ather entered the Sri Lankan market in December 2024 with the Ather 450X. Since then, Evolution Auto has set up 40 Experience Centers across the country. To support EV adoption, the company has also deployed Ather Grid fast chargers at various locations.

The Rizta is built with a wide seat and 34L under-seat storage. It includes a flat floorboard for additional legroom. The scooter features SkidControl, aimed at providing better stability. It also comes with a 7-inch TFT display, along with connected features such as Google Maps navigation, music control and call control (these connected functions are available with the Rizta Z variant).

Ather made its first international entry in November 2023 with Nepal, where it now has 9 Experience Centres and 7 Service Centres. Sri Lanka became its second international market in December 2024. In India, as of 30 September 2025, Ather had 524 Experience Centres and 3,643 fast-charging stations under the Ather Grid network.

Ravneet Singh Phokela, Chief Business Officer, Ather Energy Limited, said, “Since entering Sri Lanka last year, it has quickly become a growing market for us, and expanding our portfolio here with the Rizta felt like the natural next step. The Rizta has seen strong acceptance in India for over a year and more recently in Nepal, and we believe it is well-suited for the needs of Sri Lankan riders as well. Its focus on safety and connected capabilities makes it a practical choice for everyday use. With this launch, we aim to deepen our presence in Sri Lanka and continue strengthening the EV ecosystem there."
